Continuity programme charter

The written mandate that gives the practitioner authority.

Without a mandate, continuity is only an opinion. This charter formalises programme scope, allocated resources, steering bodies, the lead's authority and escalation criteria. Four pages, signed by the executive committee.

How to use it

  • Quantify resources explicitly: person-days and budget
  • Name the steering committee members
  • Define what the lead can decide alone
